Hyperaldosteronism in Mice Lacking the Distal Polybasic Tract of the γ‐Subunit of the Epithelial Sodium Channel During Sodium Restriction

Acta Physiologica, Volume 242, Issue 6, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Aims The epithelial sodium channel ENaC consists of the subunits α, β, and γ and is activated at an individual channel level by proteolytic processing. Murine γENaC contains a distal polybasic tract 186RKRK mediating proteolytic ENaC activation by serine proteases in vitro.

Adrenal computed tomography and NP-59 usefulness for diagnosing aldosterone-producing adenomas and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism in primary hyperaldosteronism

Urological Science, 2016
Objectives: Two major causes of primary aldosteronism are aldosterone-producing adenomas (APA) and idiopathic hyperaldosteronism (IHA). In this study, we attempted to determine the role of NP-59 in identifying APA prior to adrenalectomy, especially when ...
